To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, JOHN FRANKLIN ETCHI- soN, of Gallegos, in the'countyof Union, in the .and also prevent the animal wearing it from throwingit upward and backward, all as I will proceed now more particularly toset forth and finally claim.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, in the twofigures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is aperspective view. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section.

The body 1 in general is of rectangular outline, and its upper edge isprovided with opposite inwardly-extending integral and fixed projections2, made hollow, as at 3, and adapted to fit in the'nostrils and comeinto contact with the septum or dividing-gristle of the nose, thetubular character of these projections serving to minimize the danger ofirritation. The under part of this body is hollowed out, as at 4, so asto turn back the tip of the tongue of the animal wearing it, and thusprevent the passing of the tongue in front of the device.

The upper portion of the body is cut away, as at 5, and spanning thisportion is a bow 6, which is reinforced by a band 7 The body 1,projections 2, and bow 6 are preferably made of rubber because of itsdurability and elasticity and so that the animal may wear it withoutirritation of the portions of the nose with which it comes in contact.

The band 7 is preferably of spring-steel and serves to reinforce. thebow and keep the weaner in place. The reinforced bow prevents the animalfrom throwing the weaner projections by which it may be fitted to theanimals nostrils, and an outwardly-projecting bow, all constructed ofrubber.

'3. A colt and calf weaner, composed of a body portion havingprojections by which it may be fitted to the animals nostrils, and anoutwardly-projecting bow, all constructed of Igubber, and aspring-reinforce applied to said 4.. A colt and calf weaner, adapted tobe suspended from the animals nose and having a hollowed-out portionnext the anifnals mouth to prevent the animal from passing its tongue infront of the device.

5. A colt and calf weaner, comprising a body portion, and projectionsthereon whereby it may be suspended from the animals nose, and anoutwardly-projecting reinforced bow serving to prevent the animal fromthrowing the weaner upward and backward.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
